At the Cutting Edge of Student Success in Higher Ed

Recorded live at the 2025 ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego, this session featured Tim Renick, Executive Director of the National Institute for Student Success; David Felsenthal, Chief Executive Officer of EAB; Michael Larsen, CEO of Studiosity; and Nina Huntemann, Chief Academic Officer at Chegg. The conversation was moderated by Catherine Shaw, Managing Director at Tyton Partners.

The session explored how the evolving four-year college experience is reshaping the definition of student success. With mental health now recognized as a cornerstone—alongside essentials like housing, financial aid, and registration—institutions are seeking comprehensive support solutions. Panelists discussed the limitations of current technologies, the absence of an all-in-one platform, and how institutions can leverage existing tools to build integrated, scalable systems. The conversation focused on how to better support student well-being, persistence, and graduation in today’s complex higher education environment.
